Chapter: 151.1 - Best farming in history

Bull Devil was at a loss for words.

After a very long time, he finally asked, "Little… little sister, are you joking?"

 "Who's joking with you?" I quickly clarified my intentions and patted the bull's b.u.t.t. "It's jingzhe. It's time to start farming. Big brother is the world's strongest bull, so plowing fields isn't a big deal!"

 "I'm the magnificent master of Ji Lei Mountain and Hou Yan Mountain and a great G.o.d. How… How could I plow fields like an ordinary bull?" Bull Devil shook his head. He was determined to not go along with this.

 "Big brother…" I pulled on his sleeve and pleaded, "I'm begging you. If we don't finish tilling the land today, it'll be too late to sow the seeds."

 "But… But, if word gets out that I did this, big brother won't have any face left." Devil Bull's voice had softened from my pleading.

I saw that his worry could be resolved, so I quickly promised to the heavens, “Miao Miao guarantees that she won’t tell anyone else about today’s events!” I also dragged over Yin Zi who had been crouching down near the field to secretly laugh and made him promise too.

Bull Devil normally doted on me in every possible way. He only hated that I didn’t asked him for help with anything normally. It was difficult for him to turn down this rare request. He hesitated for a long time. Finally, he gritted his teeth and turned around to change into his original animal form. His multicolored divine bull form was twice as big as other bulls.

I happily picked up the plow and attached it to him by mimicking what I had seen other farmers do. This was also a great engineering project. I spent a long time sorting it out before it could be considered properly done. Xiao Cha had walked here from the courtyard with a basket in her hand.

Seeing Yin Zi, she happily said, “Elder sister Yin Zi, it’s time to eat.” She turned her head and saw Bull Devil. She jumped up in shocked.

She asked, “Where did this bull come for? Why is it so big?”

“Borrowed.” Yin Zi replied simply.

"So beautiful." Xiao Cha gently and cautiously walked to the bull. She stretched out her hand in curiosity to stroke the bull.

Bull Devil turned around and made a loud noise with his nose.

This scared her so much that she ran away to hide behind a tree. She quietly looked from far away. She didn't dare to come closer. After she looked for a moment, she gave Yin Zi an excuse and left.

Just as I was preparing to put my hand on the plow, Bull Devil unexpectedly shook his head. He shook me off and walked forward by himself. The field that he plowed was deep and orderly. It was very beautiful.

“Big brother, you don’t need to hurry. You can do this slowly.” I considerately comforted him. But, as a result of my words, Bull Devil plowed faster.

Yun Zi stealthily walked closer to me to discuss the next step, "I can handle catching the insects. I'll let the nearby crows come here to eat the insects and also drive out the birds that like to eat grain.

I nodded and continued the conversation by saying, “Watering the plants won’t be troublesome. I’ll ask Ao Yun to send a dragon here to regularly summon rain at night. What else do we need to do for farming?

“Sowing, fertilizing, and harvesting shouldn’t be anything special. When its time, we’ll watch other people and copy their actions.” Yin Zi counted out these tasks on his fingers.

"I’ll let the mouse demon solve the problem of spreading the fertilizer. After he had paid respect when he first came to the mountain, he hasn’t paid me protection fee for several months. He can repay those months by working.” Early on, I had beaten the group of small demons near Xiang family’s village into obediently listening to my words.

“We’ll do the sowing and harvesting. We should do something ourselves.” Yin Zi indicated that he was very satisfied with my work method.

We hadn’t spent a long time talking it over before Bull Devil finished plowing the field. The grievance and strength in his body wasn’t gone. He also easily plowed part of the neighboring fields before coming back.

I hastily went forward to give thanks.

After Bull Devil regained his breath, just as he was about to speak, Xiang Qing’s voice came from a distance, “Miao Miao, I borrowed a hoe to plow, so don’t worry and let me handle this.”

“The field has already been plowed.” I quickly replied.

“Ah?” Xiang Qing had walked to nearby. He saw Bull Devil and the neatly plowed fields. Somewhat shocked, he asked, “Where did the bull come from?”

I hurriedly pulled him over and corrected his faulty wording, “This is a bull. And he is also your elder brother-in-law.”

“Bull? Elder brother-in-law?” Xiang Qing blankly stood there. It took him a long time to put together my words to understand the connection between those two words. My demon relative was here. Consequently, Xiang Qing hastily thanked him for being so loyal to me to do the favor of plowing the field.

“No need. You have to treat my sister well.” Bull Devil was preparing to change back to his human form to go home.

Unexpectedly, there came elder sister-in-law’s crisp voice from behind, “Younger brother-in-law, the hoe that you recently took wasn’t very good. I brought another one for you to use. Yi, where did such a handsome bull come from?”

We were ruined. We didn’t dare to move. We could only look as elder sister-in-law walked forward and inappropriately and awfully moved her hands up and down on Bull Devil’s body.

She loudly shouted, “Husband, come here to look! I’ve never seen such a big, strong bull in my life.”

It was as if an explosion occurred. A group of farmers surrounded us and gesticulated at Bull Devil. They also touched him left and right and wanted to see his teeth.

“What a truly good bull… I’ve been farming my entire life and I’ve never seen such a strong bull.”

“His body is too beautiful. We’ve been raising bulls for so long and have never raised such a good bull.”

“Does he belong Xiang family’s second son? Could we borrow the bull to use?”

“Qing-er, could you lend him to uncle to use for a bit? I’ll return him later…”

Everyone was lively talking all at the same time. It made Bull Devil almost flip out in anger. If he really let loose his anger, the repercussions would be unimaginable. Xiang Qing and I saw the wrath and hidden bitterness in Bull Devil’s eyes and broke out in cold sweat.

“Calm down… You have to be calm. As the saying goes, there are no difficulties that a bull can’t pa.s.s through. There will always be times when you lose face. I’ve done things that are even more humiliating than this. Really, it's no big deal. Don’t dwell on unpleasant things. Accept the situation and move on.”

I dug my brain for ideas and did my best to mollify him, “If you’re really angry, you can hit and yell at me to vent your anger later. Please don’t use violence against these ordinary villagers.”

(T/N: The actual saying is life doesn't give impa.s.sable difficulties, there are only humans who can't pa.s.s through these difficulties.)

“Rational, you have to be rational. As the saying goes, life is full of surprises. We must be brave enough to meet them. We can’t avoid. Escaping is a coward’s behavior.” Xiang Qing gingerly comforted him. “If you’re really angry, please don’t hit Miao Miao. It’ll be fine if you vent your anger on me.”

“Forget it. Odd things will always happen if you follow this cat. Look at how I’m dressed. It should balance things out?” Yin Zi had also walked forward to join in and cause trouble. “If you’re really angry, then you should ruthlessly beat those two. Whatever happens, don’t look for me. I’m innocent and I’m unable to endure your fist.”

“What are you guys whispering about on the side?” Elder sister-in-law turned around and asked in puzzlement, “Where did this bull come from?”

“We borrowed him from a village at the bottom of Ji Lei Mountain.” Xiang Qing hastily replied.

During this period of time, I’m afraid that the lies he said were more than double his previous life’s.

“I haven’t heard of that village…”

"What region is it located in?"

The nearby people started discussing again.

With a face full of admiration, elder sister-in-law stroked Bull Devil’s back and suggested an idea, “You don’t need to return the bull that quickly, right? Our neighbor’s cow will soon go into heat. How about mating them? This bull is so wonderful. His calf will also definitely be good. If we buy the calf, it’ll be a good helper with farming when it grows up.”

T/N: Omg, poor Bull Devil. You're the best big brother.

I've always thought Miao Miao does embarra.s.sing things because she didn't know better or at least, she thinks those things aren't humiliating with her cat mindset. But, reading her words to Bull Devil when she's trying to mollify him, is she aware of her actions to some degree and is purposely disregarding it because Xiang Qing is more important to her?
